Transcribe! History - version 8.71 Release Notes, released 4 Jan 2018

The Windows version requires Windows 10.
The Mac version requires macOS 10.10 or later.
For the Linux version, see the Download page on the website for details.

As usual, it is free to existing users.

Changes:

- We've added a new feature, the "Loop Line", which appears
in the main transcription window. "Show Loop Line" on the View
menu will display the "Loop Line" above the profile and also
in the Navigation Bar if this is shown. The loop line displays
the same positions and loops that you see on the Misc page of
the Fx window, but it can be more convenient to access them
this way. You can click the loop line to select a loop or
right-click (control-click on Mac) to create, edit, and delete
loops (using a popup menu).
If you would like the loop line to appear by default in new
transcriptions then please see this FAQ
"How can I set defaults for the appearance of new transcriptions?".

- New command LoopStoreInsert - this stores the current
position and selection as a loop in the list on the Misc page
of the Fx window. It creates a new loop and inserts it in sorted
order into the existing list of loops.
The "New Loop From Selection" command in the popup menu of the
Loop Line uses this command, but you can also program a keyboard
command if you want to.

- You can now use the mouse wheel for scrolling the list of
stored loops on the Misc page of the Fx window.

- Mac: on some (not all) macOS versions some USB microphones
(e.g. Logitech AK5370) would not work with Transcribe!'s
Record New Sound File command. This should now be fixed.

- Optional fat play position indicator for better visibility.
See Preferences - Playback.

- The Speed Up command on the Play menu can now be told to
measure in seconds instead of in repeats. This means that you
spend an equal amount of time at each speed, rather than having
an equal number of repeats at each speed.

- We've added a compressor/limiter to prevent 16-bit overload
distortion if you turn up the volume or EQ too high. It's on by
default, in Preferences - Playback.
When compression is operating, it will appear as a red line
under the volume slider in the lower toolbar.

- Added a "Reposition this Window" command on the Window
menu, for if the window is too big, or off screen, or whatever.

- Removed the click at start of notes played on Transcribe's
piano keyboard.

- Mac OS 10.12 and later: removed the "Show Tab Bar" command
from the View menu. This was not used by Transcribe! and should
never have appeared.

- Mac: the File Open dialog now remembers correctly what type
of file you last opened (e.g. "Sound files" or "All files").

- Raised the limit on script file size from 100kB to 1MB -
yes someone complained it was too low!
